5:00 P.M EST on Friday, July 12. Keep up the good work! It may be much sooner though. Reminds me of that scene from Young Frankstein when they are trying to close the casket on the dead guy and he keep opening it up (or something like that).

Golly the consensus seems to be Fri Jul 12 just in time for handwringing at RNC convention.

Here’s the deal, man. Thursday Aug 8. Just before the Demoncrats gather together. Every other guess is just a bunch of malarkey.

Look - c’mon, man - i’m still suffering from jet lag 12 days ago.

I think it will be late in the day On Tuesday the ninth, to get as far away from the news cycle as possible. So I’m saying Tuesday, July 9, 8:30 PM Eastern.

Looking forward to our stroll.🤣🤣

Actually posted on Facebook on July 2 that I gave the over under it seven days. So I made this prediction before you posted this – but, you know, great minds,…..

I’ll take the 10th at 2:00 pm. That’ll give the media the balance of Thursday and Friday to anoint the chosen before the Sunday political commentary shows.

Not going to happen. He will trip, stumble, and bumble his way to the election on Nov 5th. Acting President Jill, and chief of crack Hunter will keep him pumped up till the end. Demoncats are power crazy fools and lack a back bench to replace this demented fool.

Agree! And not only THAT, he will somehow manage to WIN the election, and the GOP also loses the house and stays the minority in the senate. Never underestimate the power of dem cheating AND the stupidity/greed/selfishness of the uninformed voter! And I'm PRAYING I'm wrong!

"... the stupidity/greed/selfishness of the uninformed voter."

Yep. My way of saying it is that the average American citizen is unworthy of the country that was bequeathed us.

Some is not totally their fault: Civics and POD have been dropped from education, and even the intelligent kids have absolutely no idea how govt. is SUPPOSED to work. Not disgreeing one bit, but I have seen some in my family who are really smart--on paper---and totally ignorant in reality!

Of course, whether or not it is "their fault" does not mean they are worthy. One can be "innocent" of fault and still unworthy.

I will say Monday, July 8, at 10:30 a.m. Eastern Time. We sat next to you at the Garfield County Republican Dinner. Even if we lose, we'd love to have you over for lunch or dinner at our house in Snowmass.

Absolutely love reading your column every week!

July 15th 1:34pm he’ll last an additional week than your prediction as Hunter will provide the powder to keep him going now that he’s back in an advisory (dealer) position inside the WH. Please note his new saying is “hey, we’re the United States of America”, whenever he loses his way and speeches, despite a teleprompter right in front of his face

Fun contest idea! It reminds me of this: https://www.nenanaakiceclassic.com It's also a rather apt metaphor for the entirety of the Biden presidency. Thin ice and all that.
